Rumor: Rumors & Proposals: What is Chia the Terrible going to pull out next?

[CanadianSuperPromise]

Larsson's dream projection is Vlasic not Suter or Hedman.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Thinking of it as Lucic and Larsson - and maybe Demers - for Hall helps a little bit, but boy is our ******* going to sting for awhile from that rough ****ing.

Pop the champagne, Shero.

 

[Dazed and Confused]

Not happening.

Idk... It won't be right away, but I can situations where both become available.

If Barrie's contract talks go south he could be moved, plus this team can offer more for Shattenkirk compared to others out there. Aiming a little lower and even a guy like Wideman, Boyle, or Franson would help.


Though this deal likely gets Chai's balls out of the vice when if comes to defence, and lowering other team's asking price.


Though something's going to need to give on defence soon:
Klefbom, Larsson, and Sekera signed long term; with Nurse and Davidson still RFA for several more years...
Reinhart, Simpson, Musil, and Laleggia in OKC...
Bear, and Jones going pro the year after next...
Plus Paigin, Niemelainen, and Berglund overseas and potentially coming over soon.

You mean the Vlasic who was one of the first four defensemen named to Team Canada for the World Cup, and was the top pairing shutdown defenseman on the Stanley Cup finalist Sharks. I'd take that.

Get back to me when Lucic and Demers are under contract. Until then, I'll assume it's not gonna happen.

Yeah, if he ends up like Vlasic then it would be a good deal in hindsight.


If he doesn't....hmmmmm. The entire trade is one big gamble.

I'm right with you.

Right now it's Larsson for Hall and we're the biggest losers in the league.

 

[Aerrol]

Shattenkirk.

Does.

Not.

Want.

To.

Sign.

In.

Edmonton (or anywhere else in the West).

He has given St. Louis a list of FOUR teams he'll sign an extension with. People need to understand this already.

I've seen no legit source about Shattenkirk not signing here. Just boob stuffer, who can barely get Edmonton news right. Those tweets are apparently from a Blues insider.

 

[ohheyhemsky]

Oh please Lucic, sign with NJ. That would be my favourite thing.

From the same Blues insider:

 

[Kamus]

Terrible trade for the OIL.

1st if this is the best you can get, why don't you wait maybe some other GM changes their mind and you can get better value for Hall. If not, and you are panicking, you make this trade a day before the season starts. And believe me, the Devils still make this trade at that point, because they ripped us off.

"Boob Stuffer" pretty much nailed the Larsson trade.

 

[Leon Draisaitl]

Lucic - McDavid - Yakupov
Maroon - Nuge - Eberle
Pouliot - Draisaitl - Puljujarvi
Korpikoski - Letestu - Kassian

Klefbom - Larsson
Sekera - Demers
*** - Davidson

Talbot
Brossoit

*** = Nurse, Oesterle, Fayne, Reinhart, Gryba, free agent (whoever performs best in the pre-season/training camp)

Could also flip Pouliot and Maroon (Pouliot has chem with RNH and Ebs but I feel a Maroon-Drai-JP line wouldn't be that great)


I think that roster looks pretty good. I know some won't like having Yak on the first line but he has chemistry with McDavid and it's good to spread the wealth.

 

[ChaoticOrange]

Well if we don't sign Lucic now it's probably one of the top 10 worst moves an NHL team has ever made.

 

[syz]

If he ends up as good as Vlasic you still need somebody who can move the puck like Burns in order for your defense to not still be garbage.

 

[CanadianSuperPromise]

With Stamkos opting to stay in Tampa, that leaves a lot of spend-ready team looking for a first line forward.

 

[SweatpantsNiceShoes]

RNH will be traded next. Announced tomorrow. Book it.

 

[JJTopper]

So we still need a RHD to run the Power Play. Not sure if any UFA's fit the bill, but trading for one seems unlikely at current prices. If we move an RNH/Eberle+ for one, our offense will rely almost completely on the kids (McDavid, Draisaitl and JP). Sounds like a recipe for disaster. Especially since Draisaitl just lost the only guy he showed chemistry with and JP might need some time in the AHL to start the year. I don't know how they fix this one before training camp.

hahahaha, dreger stating that the lucic deal will be for 7 years.... bahahaha

just when you think that chia couldn't POSSIBLY get any worse, he somehow proves you wrong and continually proves to be inept in every aspect of being a GM

If Lucic does sign here, he'll get a full NTC/NMC. Chia likes to hand those out like candy from what I gather.

 

[KeithIsActuallyBad]

By the way where did all the people go that were critiquing Rishaug? He was absolutely on the money. Don't get the hate for him.

 

[CanadianSuperPromise]

On top of this, with Hall being traded, Lucic is going to leverage the hell out of Chiarelli on July 1.

Lucic will easily get his 7 years and at least 6 million. No doubts about it. Hell, expect 7x7 on friday.

Oh great hockey insider

 

[SDig14]

Turns out Rishaug and Boob were bang on on this trade and the stiff with dealing Hall. Howson must have came through with the details once again for them.

 

[Soundwave]

Biggest plus of the trade -- not having to hear Travis Hamonic's name on this board every third day going forward.

Booby Mac and several eastern media guys have ALL said Shattenkirk is heading east

the St Louis Beat writer is the one saying they are wrong. WHy? Because no team will give the BLues fair value for Shattenkirk knowing full well he is heading east in 12 months. Blue and their staff are trying to play down what was previously stated by many media people

 

[SweatpantsNiceShoes]

Oilers are still in dire need of a PP D
Why not target Wideman?
Contract year. He will probably go all out in attempt to secure a new contract next summer.
Even if the Oilers don't keep him, he could be a valuable deadline trade chip.
